I guess when transportation makes up almost all the cost, you're basically paying solely by weight.

it’s definitely the weight for transportation. heavy things, like water based substances like pop, seemed to have a higher percentage premium to “normal” prices than lighter things.
the 2L bottles at $13 were still the cheapest cost per mL. 500mL bottles were generally $5, 1L bottles were $8. 12 packs of cans were $22.
on the other hand, i bought a box of cereal, probably only 15% or so premium from prices here. family size box for $7 something.
a 4L jug of milk was about $15, i didnt buy that, i bought a 1L carton that expired soon for 50% off, saved some money.
